Hmmm...
(Please don't throw things at me.)
I loathe NS and SS just as much as everyone else, and I have pretty strong feelings about the punishment I'd like for them to endure, BUT...
...there's a link on the Fox News site: Facebook: Form a mob to execute Nathan Sloop and Stephanie Sloop.
Just wanted to express my opinion on this...I don't like seeing something like that listed on an official news source. There are appropriate forums for things like that, but I just don't think a news website is the place for it. I (for the most part) trust news sources to be relatively fair and impartial, because that's what journalism is supposed to do. But posting this link?? I'm just not comfortable with it.

I agree...the mob mentality is always frightening to me, when it happens in US it makes me feel like we are reacting much in the same way as happens in countries where they chop off your hand for stealing...JMO...Obviously this crime is beyond the pale and impossible to take in and people are very emotional but I hope justice is allowed to proceed in a civilized manner. Our court system, while far from perfect, more often than not, works to punish the guilty with the punishments approved by society. I do not like the Facebook group apparently set up to call for execution for the same reason; there are ways to contact the DA to express your feelings, as we have seen done here, and with success. JMO.
